Now, reports from South Korean media outlets have revealed that the LG G6 could be the very first general Android phone to sport Google Assistant; previously, Google’s AI software has been limited to its own Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones as a purchase incentive.

The move would not be without precedent; LG has historical ties with Google dating back to the Nexus programme, where the company most recently produced the Nexus 5X. Further, LG’s recent V20 was the first general Android smartphone to release with Android 7.0 Nougat on board.

The news that LG might have early access to Google Assistant is then somewhat unsurprising, but is nonetheless thrilling for consumers around the world who’ve been waiting to try out Google’s vision of an AI-first future.
